Just genuinely cackled, thanks

Wait, if you hit your head on that, do you get a refund?

Usually just a single coin.

The massage chair in the lobby. It does a decent job.

u/interesseret 9d ago

Also lovely if you're the type that likes to sit and read a bit before sleeping

people like you are why we cant have sarcasm without /s

u/Mekanikol 8d ago

Written sarcasm should always use /s, honestly. You really can't tell just by reading because some folks genuinely are idiots.

Some of us are just Autistic thank you.

This bedding looks like it has seen things

u/FrankSonata 9d ago

Looks like tram seat fabric. Or 90% of cheap hotels in Australia lol

u/salty_lyfe 9d ago

Yep rural Australia 🤣

u/CautionarySnail 9d ago

I’m honestly impressed that the style of motel fabric in Australia is that specific to a place/era.

It’s like that era in 1990s USA when Laura Ashley designs barfed florals all over every surface that couldn’t manage to run away.

u/shatterly 9d ago

Now I’m reading the title with an Australian accent, and it’s 3000 times better.

u/how_very_dare_you_ 9d ago

Not the Albury townhouse motel is it?

6

u/Turd-burgIer 9d ago

Looks very similar to the Country roads motel in Warracknabeal. Spent many nights there.

6

u/agha0013 This is why we can't have nice things 8d ago

fascinating. Stayed at a motel in rural Australia once and i'm pretty sure they had the same bedding.

Was an odd motel as well, strange room layouts

I think it was somewhere in the region around Dubbo.

u/Covert_Admirer 9d ago

Is it on the Nullarbor?

u/bunana_boy 9d ago

Is this near wave rock?

u/Impossible_Past5358 9d ago

Sleep at the other end...

u/redditsucksnow23 5d ago

Tennant Creek?

u/Sea_Prep_Tidal_26 9d ago

100% polyester crap ?

3

u/YellowCulottes 6d ago

Haha, I was thinking I’ve stayed here before! but it could be anywhere from Albury to Bundaberg, Dubbo or Kempsey.

u/javatimes 9d ago

It looks like it saw 1987

u/elephantrae 9d ago

Over the course of about the last 40 years

u/Second_Guess_25 9d ago

OP is residing in a Theme Hotel of sorts. The walls and bedding screams 80s šŸ’€

12

u/NoGarage7989 9d ago

The theme: Apathetic landlords from the 80s

u/torturekiller2025 9d ago

They remind me of old bus seats.

u/Seasidegoats 9d ago

Thats hilarious what in earth lol, have you hit your head yet?

u/Smartnership *Studied Frank Lloyd Wrong* 9d ago

Longest night’s sleep ever,

Wake up, get a concussion, fall back to sleep, wake up, get a concussion …

Some say he’s still sleeping to this day.

25

u/Le_Vagabond 9d ago

At what point did you consider pulling the bed so that wouldn't happen again?

46

u/SirHawrk 9d ago

Or just turn around so the pillow is on the other side of the bed?

15

u/hobosbindle 9d ago

Then you get to discover what’s lurking under the bed!

3

u/bargu 8d ago

You could just turn around...

138

u/Red_Marvel 9d ago

I’d be reversing the setup and putting my feet by the headboard.

39

u/Fancy-Trousers 9d ago

Or scooting the bedframe a bit away from the wall. Still crappy design, but manageable during OP's temporary stay.

6

u/gumbo_chops 9d ago

I'd be asking for a different room that wasn't a straight-up prision cell with ugly brick walls on top of this design travesty.

21

u/unrebigulator 8d ago

I can guarantee all rooms are identical, and have been since Expo'88.

9

u/salty_lyfe 8d ago

Confirmed

74

u/greensquiggle 9d ago

im the kind of sleeper no matter if i move the pillow down 2' or even sleep sideways or on the floor, my head will still wind up under that thing come morning

21

u/correcthorsestapler 9d ago

Knowing me, I’d also smack my head on the brick wall while moving in my sleep.

65

u/almightyshellfish 9d ago

You gotta wonder what was wrong with the Headwacker 1000 and 2000 that they felt they needed to keep iterating. Not enough heads getting wacked I guess.

17

u/JetlinerDiner 9d ago

Planned obsolescence.

2

u/FellowHumanNo404 8d ago

That's how they getcha.

u/GigaWhiteNiga 9d ago

They upgrade it everytime it produces another 1000 victims

27

u/Linkmolgera2 9d ago

Youll be going from vacation with the family to vacation with the ancestors in no time!

15

u/guyincognito1950 9d ago

This is honestly one of the worst offenders I’ve seen on here. In a hotel of all places - where arguably its sole function is to provide a place to sleep

11

u/Past-Lunch4695 9d ago

Did you actually..lie down ON that bedspread?????

11

u/Bendoman_ 9d ago

Brick directly over the bed is an insane choice, they shed dust like crazy

8

u/Sinnaman_ 9d ago

That shit is lethal

5

u/tafunast 9d ago

Did you time travel to this hotel?

10

u/unrebigulator 8d ago

Travelled to regional Australia, which is the same thing, so yes.

u/Rhelino 9d ago

Hahaha your title deserves an award! Brilliant

u/SlickerCalf 9d ago

Generic rural/small town motel bed set-up

u/stevensokulski 9d ago

Putting the head in headboard.

And I mean in.

u/remmuchan 9d ago

Hahaha

u/samtherat6 9d ago

Just make it the foot rest, ez

2

u/SaveFile1 9d ago

My bed has no backing and it's not against a wall. The pillow slides off the back constantly, sometimes in the middle of me trying to sleep. I'd 100% prefer this.

2

u/SapientApe_ 9d ago

Hotel or hostel?

5

u/heliboredom 9d ago

Hostile.

1

u/Bizarrebazaars 9d ago

Prime example of why I often bring my own pillowcase with me traveling….. pillow right on top of that nasty-ass comforter that never gets washed (hotels usually don’t wash them like ever). So gross haha.

1

u/Sup3rT4891 9d ago

This is a common mistake. The model 3000 does have a lot of similar features but you can see the outlet in the middle. Those are only present on the 4000.b model.
It’s impressively effective at ensuring zero return guests

u/Lumpupu85 9d ago

Ese zulo es un hotel?

u/SignificantDrink3651 9d ago

I'd almost definitely sleep the other way than risk a wakeup involving that edge.

u/Conman_in_Chief 8d ago

Can confirm the veracity of your wife’s middle name.

u/SquidRamen2001 8d ago

That bedding probably has a lot of stories to tell...

1

u/ExcitingTrust888 8d ago

I remember this one time when I went to this girl’s apartment and she had one of these but more protruded. While doing the deed I literally hit my head twice on it. Once when I went down to give her a kiss, and then when I raised my head after.

…yeah the mood got ruined cause of that.

u/hotelbeano 8d ago

ā€œHotelā€ is a very generous term for whatever that place is.

Look in the bottom of the wardrobe, there is a motorcycle helmet. To prevent cerebral haemorrhages, please use this if you are on top and having a missionary shag.

u/gonomon 7d ago

Place your head to other side of the bed...

u/SatisfactionMoney426 7d ago

Stayed in a hotel decades ago with work, my colleague came down to breakfast one day with a big bruise on the side of his head and his cheek was cut. He said he'd hit his head the previous day while washing his hair in the shower and that morning had cut himself on the shower head holder as he said it was too low and in completely the wrong place. The hotel manager was pissing himself laughing as he told him the shower head was magnetic so it could be easily moved/adjusted to any position ... My colleague later joined the intelligence services ...

Move the pillow somewhere else and be surprised.
